i looked at some threads and maybe im' not searching right, but i didn't really find anything pertaining ot this topic

when writing responses for my secondaries, many of them are wquite limited in the room i have. so my quesiton is, when i'm referring to someting like "my research" or "teaching experience", i shouldn't need to go into much detail (if any at all) right?... since they technically should have my AMCAS to look at. i just don't want to sound repetitive, but at the same time not include information that could possibly be valuable

Yea they have your primary to look at of course, so I wouldn't worry about covering every last detail, but I would probably address what their question is. Space can be a big problem, on Miami's secondary they ask for all work experience in the last 5 years with dates and descriptions all in 375 characters!!!!! As a non-trad. I have worked many jobs in the last 5 years, so many that I ran out of space before I could list them all with job title, company and dates worked, I didn't even have a chance to begin describing any of them. =P
